Was that gash there when you got it? Or did it happen while loading?

It was a pre-existing condition. I imagine the company that did the removal set it on its side, which put that hole in the stator housing as well as the crack in the intake. Luckily it's an easy fix!! These fiberglass castings are so crude that a sloppy fix with some resin and mat will be all I need!

The fiberglass work is fun, once you get to be good at it (I'm OK at it, but not good). I learned a little of it from a friend who was restoring the body on a '58 Corvette. If it's brittle, you might think about laying a fiberglass skin over the whole shroud. It might prevent future cracks and stop it from "fuzzing out".

BTW: Where's the rest of that '80s Honda 110 three-wheeler? I see the tank.

Yes, that's a real 500-lb Federal SD-10 I'm holding (braggart!)

I LOVE fiberglass work! I made a fiberglass/MDF subwoofer enclosure for my '73 VW Bug to go under the back window.

Luckily, my Allertor isn't too brittle at all! I should be able to just get away with patching the hole in the ststor housing and gluing that crack in the intake! :D

The ATC-110 is all in my garage. I just have to put about 10 minutes into throwing it back together and then I'm gonna sell it! I was trying to get it going (hasn't ran in 15+ years), but it was one problem after another (broken pull cord--I fixed that, no spark--I fixed that, then it had a varnish-plugged carb--so I rebuilt that, now no spark again...ugh!) It's a 1979 model. I'm gonna try and get $200 for it, which will fund (or partially fund) my next siren!
